Monday

“I sought the Lord, and He heard me.”

~Psalm 34:4a~

Thank-you for the prayers for Jon-Michael Williams.  He was able to show encouraging signs over the weekend.  He will have more tests today.  Keep praying.

Mr. Gordon Price is hospitalized in McComb because of pneumonia.  Please add him to your prayer list.

Callie Cole

Hey,
All is well.  Callie is continuing with her therapy as this thanksgiving holiday comes to a close.  Hope you all have had a joyous, thankful season.  We sure have an abundance to be thankful for like health and salvation not to mention all the little blessing He bestows on us.
This week we ask for your prayers as we travel to Callie’s doctor appointment.  We will be traveling back to Atlanta for a follow up visit.  We do have several questions and are hoping for suggestions that will help us better serve her needs.
Thanks so much for all your prayers.  Please remember the reason for the season.  May I challenge you to do something different this year…….like a silent, unmentioned blessing for someone that needs a Jesus kiss!!  Something that gives only Him the glory.  Think outside the box!!
Keep it real.

Lottie Moon Week of Prayer for International Missions

Day Two

The people of Cuba

Retired Cuban Baptist pastor Víctor González is a “walking evangelist” along the rugged roads of Cuba’s mountainous countryside. Last year he made 2,640 home visits—all on foot—to share the gospel with rural Cubans.

A 90-year-old widower, Victor shows no signs of slowing down. “Pray that the Lord will lengthen my life to be able to keep on working in His service,” he says. “Pray that Cuba and the whole world will be won to Christ.”

Víctor’s zeal for evangelism is typical among Christians in Cuba, who are seeing one of the fastest rates of church growth in the world.

Cuban Baptist churches numbered 210 in 1960. In the 1990s, a church-planting movement began. Today, there aren’t enough churches to hold all the believers. Cuban Baptist traditional churches, missions, and house churches number more than 6,200; most meet in houses, garages, yards or on rooftops.

This growth has created a demand for more church leaders. To help meet that need, a team of IMB missionaries travels frequently to Cuba to help Cuban Baptists train leaders. Your gifts to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering® support this ministry.

“This is God’s time for Cuba,” says one of these missionaries.

Pray God will raise up church leaders for the harvest. Pray a sufficient number of leaders will be trained.
